Have you ever considered being a writer? That was quite lovely.

You should be a writer.

Lovely. This kind of article always ignites some obscure desire to become a professional writer, even though I would probably be crap at it :)

:) Thanks. I wish I was a better writer. I thought about writing a fiction based on my life many times, but I am not even close to being a decent writer

I wanna be a writer!

Of course that's writing but I was thinking more along the lines of fiction and poetry.

Become a writer.

Thanks, I have been planning to start writing when I grow up for quite some time now.

Speaking for myself, the idea of “emerging as a writer” sounds appealing.

Wow that's pretty cool insight to a writer's process. I'm not sure that ever would have occurred to me

What have you seen? I am really interested as a writer.

I thought about it so many times I lost count.

My dream is writing for a living, and I'm currently writing the first draft of a novel. I'm about 1/5 of the way there, began a couple of weeks ago. I've tried a few other times, but couldn't get past the first few chapters. I'm now at 18k words and going strong, I hope this will be the one.


Everytime I read articles like this I feel the urge to make writing a hobby, but I just can't get to it. Feels like I'm missing out but I'm not sure.

I really hope I'm skilled enough to write something like this from scratch one day.

I've gotten really into writing fiction the past three years. I don't know that I'm genetically gifted for it but it's fun.

Writing. I'm not a bad writer but man it'd be great to be better.

Thank you. I suppose it might be of help to many people, but, I would not fancy the pressure.

I am not being stopped by an internal critic. I have written a bit and I quite like what I have write, I was very much pleasantly surprised in fact. I do think though that if it will give me full satisfaction I should perhaps learn of ways of speaking by different people and also I plan to take some acting classes which might be of help.

But yeh I do think I will need some time, I think it will be a life project and probably never be published. I don't want to be a writer. I enjoy writing though, a lot, especially when you at some point you are not really the writer but witnessing and thinking wow where on earth did that come from, its coool!

How did your novels go though?


A real writer. I've never been able to achieve something so... fluid, complete, interesting.

Just start writing. See where it takes you.

So two thoughtful sentences now count as a novel? I should really look into getting published.
